Lightning strike

A bolt arriving from the sky — sudden, concentrated force delivered in one instant to one point.

A lightning strike in a dream is the dream's image of sudden, concentrated force delivered in one instant to one point. Lightning does not negotiate; it arrives. The dream brings the strike when something in your life — a piece of news, a decision made elsewhere, a sudden insight — has landed with a force out of proportion to its visible cause. A lightning strike survived, with the work continuing, is the dream affirming that the strike was endured. A lightning strike that hits the structure of the house, with damage spreading from the point of contact, is the dream noting that the concentrated force has changed the building, and what stands afterward will not be exactly what stood before.
